cursor v0.50 is here

lots of juicy features

here's all the features you need to know 🧵 👇 

@cursor_ai Simpler, unified pricing for @cursor_ai

– All model usage now on request-based pricing
– Max Mode adopts token-based pricing (like model APIs)
– Premium tool calls & long context mode removed

Max Mode for all top models (token-based)

max mode is ideal for harder problems which require more context, intelligence and tool use

@cursor_ai 

Background Agent (Preview)

"a remote, asynchronous agent that runs outside the main Cursor editor in a remote containerized environment. It allows you to offload long-running or complex task"

works best for tasks that require less human interaction like fixing simple bugs, small features, or long changes
